The project

The project consists of creating a comprehensive programme for the long-term unemployed which combines labour activation actions through a system of hiring by local entities, with the ultimate goal of achieving their re-insertion into the labour market.

The 2017-2020 Quality Employment Plan represents a commitment to improving the economic model which specifies that labour policies should act as drivers of this improvement and support the business sector to move towards a more inclusive labour market, especially for groups with more difficulty such as people in long-term unemployment.

In order to deal with this situation, the proposal is to create a comprehensive programme for the long-term unemployed, which, by combining actions of a different nature, can focus on this group and take advantage of their human capital by improving their professional skills and promoting their employment in strategic sectors.

The idea is to create a comprehensive programme that would be managed through a call for grants directed to local entities. A fifteen-month programme would be subsidised, which would include three three-month employer hiring packages within the local entity for doing work of general and social interest.

The subsidy would be used to hire employment specialists for a period of fifteen months and these people would provide career guidance, design personalised itineraries related to qualifications and labour insertion, provide tutoring and support, design and renew activities to update professional skills and business information and awareness, promote employment, present incentives and bonuses to favour recruitment as well as selection and guidance during people's return to work.

The programme would focus primarily on the long-term unemployed aged between 30 and 55 years old. The objective of this employment policy is to prevent the consolidation of trends in structural unemployment, which clearly harms the most vulnerable groups, and to look for a more balanced evolution of employment as the first tool of a sustainable growth model.
